Before Christmas and during "Black Week", retailers tempt customers with attractive offers. Those who don't have the money for a new cell phone or a large-screen TV are often offered "attractive" installment terms. But anyone buying on credit should take a close look and pay attention to the details. The "Krone" has all the information.

"Buy now, pay later" - especially in the run-up to Christmas, many retailers lure their customers with this offer. Not enough money for the new smartphone? No problem with installment payments. But beware: the conditions vary and are often very expensive. The devil is in the detail.
